Jari-Matti Latvala responds to Leona's Challenge!

Jari-Matti Latvala has responded to our local race queen, Girl Drifter Leona Chin! Find out what he has to say.

Posted by Volkswagen Malaysia on Monday, 31 August 2015

Game on, Leona Chin! Volkswagen Motorsport driver, Jari-Matti Latvala, has gone on record to accept the former’s invitation to a gymkhana-style showdown that is now set for September 4 at the Setia City Convention Center. The Malaysian drift sensation had earlier on issued the challenge via video to the 14-time rally winner, who is set to swing by Malaysia for a visit.

While Leona herself has been active in the local motorsports scene for some time now, it was a recent viral video that, arguably, made her a household name. In said video, Leona portrayed a mousy learner driver to lull unsuspecting instructors. Upon entering the vehicle however, the instructors were “treated” to a demonstration of her skills as she piloted the car around a car park in a rather spectacular fashion.

So with both parties agreeing to the face-off, all we have to do now is wait for it to take place this coming Friday. Who will you be rooting for – the local talent or Volkswagen’s flying Finn?

    It will a good publicity stunt for both. And VW. I am rooting for Leona, of course, but Jari Matti is a works driver. So it will be very close. ANd I bet you the video of the challange will become viral in no time!

    A meeting where one driver loves the art of loosing traction and the other one knows how to get all the traction he needed in order to get from A to B the fastest possible way.

    The WRC Polo is an All Wheel Drive car… and the standard Polo is a FWD car! It would be interesting to see how….both cars are not built for drifting!
